Sorry you have asthma. My grandmother died from it. However I do know from her battle it had nothing to do with exhaust...diesel or otherwise....and much to do with POLLEN. Asthma is essentially an allergic reaction. Your body may be allergic to exhaust. Her's was allergic to pollen and in the end it got her. I dunno....maybe we should "outlaw" pollen....or peanut butter....or cat dander since so many people are allergic to these things. Maybe we should outlaw any and everything that could possibly be deemed offensive to any single individual. I fear that is where this freedom hating planet is indeed headed. But I digress.

Indeed CAT removal will facilitate more power. Is it significant? I suppose that depends on your idea. With the TBR, PC3, and stock header with CAT intact I tuned the bike up to 142 rwhp and 95 ft-lbs. I tried to drill the the CAT out from the OEM header but that sh!t is harder than the hubs of hell. So I gave up and did this:
2006 ZX14 header (OEM) - it's catless - eBay $50 or $70 can't recall
Area P dual slip-on exhaust for ZX14 used - eBay $255
After installing the catless exhaust and re-mapping the fuel the bike gained from 142/95 to 146 and 97 ft-lbs. Of course I did not install duals for power gain only. I just love they way they look.
You may be able to get the cat ot of the OEM header...but it won't be easy. And in the end I feared I might tear something up in the attempt.
